- The Wolfe Pit makes a Souse Loaf. Souse loaf is similar to Head Cheese, but it's made with various parts of the pig to include pigs feet and neck bones. This is a Southern Soul Food delicacy.

I have been making this for over 50 years. I don't make it very often so that when I do make it, it is a real treat. Great video.. Good job!!!!
Thank you Grant! Mine was good, but my father's was really really good!!! Thanks for watching!!
Yeah, I wish my father was still around to sample this to tell me how I did!
Thank you for watching!

Ok, bad enough having to walk through our porch with the aroma of 15 loaves of head cheese setting, now I’m watching this..... and drooling! My grandmother was from Germany and used to make head cheese, pickled pigs feet and hocks.... sooooo good. Great music too btw! I play guitar and mandolin mainly... and that’s my kind of music! ❤️👍
I'm Ukrainian...my mother and I were the only ones that liked it when I was growing up. Made me happy...more for us! Like you said, it's not an every day food ...a very special treat ! my mother never put the vinegar in the boiling water. we added the vinegar while we ate. I am going to make it like your recipe.. I'll keep you posted

Update?
Update please!
UPDATE ALREADY! Jeeez
This was a goods recipe. My wife is Filipina and came home and smelled this cooking and had to have some for supper. Our pig's feet are a little larger than back home. Here you buy from the hoof to the shoulder. We had to adjust the seasonings and used coco vinegar instead of cider vinegar. In addition tro yopur spices we added 5 tablespoons of Knoor Sauce. It is a combo of Worcestershire and soy sauce. Don't know if Food Lion has it but if you can get a bottle you will never cook without it again. Love your feed. Keep them coming.
I was talking about making souse today with my husband! I grew up here in NC eating it myself! Id have to add more red pepper flake,i like mine spicy, but you were on point about, the saltines, souse, and for me, ice cold rc cola
😍
Yes lawd that's some good eating
you had me at rc 😩😭 you described my mama to the tee!
You guys are getting me hungry. I'm probably to lazy to make it, but I'm tempted to go run to the grocery store. Thanks for sharing.
Use to have Royal Crown cola or RC pop as a kid. Not sure if we can still get it here in Buffalo NY.
Great recipe!! I am originally from NC and they have the best souse meat ever. I will have to try this recipe! You did it very well!
My mom this every New Year's!
New Orleans native. I am making some hog head cheese tomorrow. Just bought my head. Yours remained me of my mom's with that jellied finish. Great job!!
Thank you very much Eric! Wow, I would have never thought of horseradish on souse! I'm going to try that tomorrow! I absolutely love horseradish!!
Thank you for watching!
I didn't think anyone could make souse better than my grandma, but yours looks like it could give hers some competition. But I'll never know since she has past. I think she would have absolutely approved of this recipe. Its got the look, ingredients and you are using her favorite "apple cider vinegar" Great Job!!!
My Swedish mom made head cheese each Christmas. No crackers, just in a bowl with white vinegar and cracked pepper! So fabulous!
This brings back childhood memories 😃thank you.
My mom always adds Pig tails to hers as well they have more fat , gelatin & cartilage❤️❤️
It’s so delicious.
Man......you are a country boy like me! I got really hungry watching this video!!! Thanks for sharing!
My late father made this when I was young, late 1970s/early 1970s. When we went squirrel hunting, he'd bring back some Skunk Cabbage too. They ate some weird stuff back in his youth, 1930s/1940s, as poor farmers in rural north Florida. He liked neck bones too.
I love it, but I use pig ears and feet only. I don't use neckbones because, they make my souse too stringy and makes your souse a little too greasy. I don't use pickling spice, because those black corns are nasty to bie on if you miss pulling one out. I use cider vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, salt, and crushed red pepper. I also let the juice set up at least thirty minutes to separate from the grease before pouring it over my meat parts. I teel everybody to loosely place meat in mole and DO NOT PACK the meat, leave enough opening where your warm juice from the cooked meat can easily give you a gel. I also use pig ears because, they are a lot more stickier and helps hold your souse together, and causing it to gel more quicker. Too much vinegar will mess your gelling process up.
Thanks,great tips
Yes!! Best tips ever. I love ears as well and they won't give you a greasy souse. I'm coming over to your house 😂😂
Use a tea strainer with holes in it and just pull it out when done.
it's done. Thought he was putting too much meat too. He could have made 2 pans with that amount of meat
I´m from Chile..we eat it a lot. My Grandpa used to make it back in the days. Great recipe.Thanks..soo good memories brought into my mind. Nothing better that eaten it in a home made bun with mayo and red hot chilli chilean paste.
Live in New york and all the southern Ladies I work with love it so I tried it and it really good it eat it with crackers and cheddar cheese ..
I have got to make this, me and my dad love head cheese! Thanks Wolfe!
I grew up eating Souse and pickled pigs feet. introduced this to my son who is 40 years old ( too much College ) he tried frying it first. did not turn out well. second try was much better when he ate it cold. now he is a true Carnivore.
We only ever made this using the head of the hog. The feet were for pickling which was my favorite. Pop kept 2 huge stone crocks in the cellar full of brine and one had feet and the other was corn pickled right on the ear. Great video of how to do a small batch
Thanks Phil! With me being the only one in the house that will really eat it, I needed to make a small batch. A whole head would have been way too much for me! But if I had known my daughter would like it, I would have made more!
You can freeze it
Just a whole lot of mustard is all i need with this and it’s good eating really.
Saltine crackers and hot sauce. Don't need hot sauce if you make your hog head cheese hot and spicy, red pepper flakes.
Oh WOW my father used to love this he would eat it with a .25 pack of crackers and a grape or orange soda back in the day when we own a small grocery store.
I'm a believer. That's one of the best looking results I've ever seen. I will try this I promise.
One of my most vivid memories from childhood is my grandmother sawing a hog's head in half, straight down the middle, to make hogshead cheese. She brushed it's teeth and took out the nasal linings. Everything else contributed to the cheese. DELICIOUS!
I loves me some head cheese. I used to eat it with my mother when I was small. Fond memories. Head cheese, pickled pigs feet (trotters) , pickled hearing, stinky fish (kippers). All the treats of my youth.
First time here lived and took all for the videos! I must have been decided about any head cheese! Never seen or heard of brain being introduced to this recipe!
Thank you for sharing!
Im african american and this is a tradition in my family... We make this every new years... I dont eat it but my family loves it
Oh that looks sooo GOOD AND I'M FROM ALABAMA. U GO BOY👍👍👍👍
Mobile here i used to eat it my grandma made it one year
@@desmondmorris5305 I'm from Mobile also
Thank you for sharing. My mother used to make this when I was younger. It was a Caribbean version but very similar. She made it from pigs head. I’ve only made it once since she’s passed away but I’m missing this so much I’m going to make it again. I can’t cope with the pigs head so I’m making it with pigs feet 😊
I would've cut it thinner but this looks delish!!! I literally just ate my last piece I brought back from Greenville, MS! Hog Head & Liver Cheese are one of the best Southern snacks from childhood that I still eat today!
I have yet to try head cheese. I'm ready to try some, looks delicious to me. people love bologna and hot dogs but want to complain about head cheese, yet they don't know it's the same thing lol, just tasty scraps thrown together.
I loved your video. looked good. I will add more vinegar and put sage in it like my mom used to do (RIP) and use the blender for the meat. But you go boy!!!! 👌👌👌👌wish I had some now😆
I love sage and think that's a great addition! I will definitely be adding some the next time I make souse! Thank you very much for watching!
Larry
+TheWolfePit (gosh im wanting souse meat again lol .(mind you im preggo lol and now im craving again) No prob!!!👍
I'm 87 yrs old and my great Aunt made this, but she put the spices into a spice holder, I love your video because I'm going and love it. I only get to eat it once in a while when I go buy it from the deli at Publix. Cost a fortune and this looks soooo much better. Just super! Thanks for this video, it makes it so easy and I can do it myself! Kay from Fla. Keys
My grandmother used to make head cheese... she sure didn't use trotters, though. It was an pigs head that she worked with as well as the neck. It was delicious! She was born in England in 1880 poor as can be - that lady could stretch a dollar till it hollered! Even when she was in Canada and money was no problem she'd still cook in similar ways.That's why trotters would never be used in head cheese - trotters are high class stuff. Oh, and blood pudding... black pudding she called it - homemade and off the charts delicious 😋
Oh, my granny's head cheese was served in fresh baked bread... with butter and I usually added hot mustard... stomachs growling just remembering.
Man o man I love this dish had this last week and ate it my entire life picking up a few heads to use next week with the ears In there great video
I'm eating some right now 🤗 WONDERFUL
Jakaria Robinson 🤢🤢
Jakaria Robinson no u aint😂
Im eating some right now too
Me too eating a few slices as I'm watching
Somehow I always knew that you were North Carolina. Remember that vinegar is the soul of good NC barbecue sauce. Looks delicious sir. Thanks so much.
LOL. My mother was the same way. We both loved souse when she made it. I always let her have it, even though I wanted some sooo bad! Cheers!
My Momma used to make this and Son let me tell you, that stuff was The Best!!! Awesome video Brother! Thumb's up!~John
I love pig feet and butter beans . Oh my a meal fit for a king
I love Souse meat especially spicy 🌶 on light bread with Hellman’s Mayo!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️
never heard of eating it as a sandwich 🤔 i'll have to try that lol
I sold soooooooooo much o this stuff to old people in northeastern PA in the 90s. Highly underrated
Looks as good as my
Pap used to make.
Only made this once a year when we would butcher a hog. He put it in the cleaned pig stomach, press it for 2 days and then smoke it.
Heaven on rye bread with Grannys' pickles on the side
Jeff, look for liver pudding while you're at it! That is one of my favorites!
If you wanna try souse loaf, you should be able to find a pack in the lunch meat section of the store. It won't be as good as homemade, but it will give you an idea......
Thanks for watching.
oh my jebus yes! I thought my grandfather made up the name, then it never came up in culinary school. life is complete again. thank you so much for this upload
Thank you very much for watching!
Oooooh sweet baby Jesus , that looked like heaven in a loaf pan ! You just don't know what I would give just to get a slice of that ! 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Awww! I hope he gets a chance to make it! Thank you Ashley!
Hot souse with saltine crackers.straight Mississippi thang....i miss it.
Have mercy! My mouth is watering. Growing up in Texas my Grandparents made this every year. I remember coming home from school and seeing this being made.
Thank you Deniece!
Heck yeah DEFINITELY gonna try to make this this weekend. Thanks for sharing.
Larry I tried the recipe an it is the best I have found that taste like the souse I grew up with. I like 2 tbsp. of red pepper flakes with mine. Thanks so much for posting the video.
Ahh another Larry Wolfe!! lol Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!
I LOVE Souse! My favorite is to make a sanddwich with soust and mustard. Love it with saltines and hot sauce as well!
Wow, now you've got me wanting some souse! This Caribbean girl loves souse, I can get feet easily but not fresh ears.
You can use cows head also, around these parts in the Appalachian Mountains we call it Head Cheese
Michael, it's made the same as head cheese.....but using a whole head would be way too much for just me to eat! So this is a mock dish I suppose!
I think a lot of people feel like you, 'it's not for them'....but it's worth at least trying. The taste is delicious, it's the texture I think people have the issue with.
Thanks for watching!
yum ..my mom use to make this when i was a child ..loved it
Thanks John! I'm now really looking forward to seeing your recipe John!!!
Now I'm going to grab a slice out of the fridge for a snack!!!
Thanks!!!
LOL! I know I'm going to get these responses and I don't blame people at all. It's definitely different! My father would buy souse and I hated it.....but he would make it and I really enjoyed it! The secret is eating it at the right temperature......too cold....too thick........too warm.......too loose....'just at room temp and it's good'.....just like pickled pigs feet!!! LOL!
Great job, WolfePit. You're Father would be proud of you. Looks pretty damn good the way you made it.
Great recipe, Wolfe-man! (I could sit and eat it alllll day!)
Made this last New Year, making again.... very good thanks.
Glad you liked it
I love souse. Thank you for sharing.
Being of German decent my grandad and father made it , I’ve made it a couple of times but didn’t have a recipe so I winged it and it came out pretty good but not like I remembered, your recipe I think will come closer , I was missing the pickling spices and I to love the vinegar, going to give it a shot again today I’ll use pork hocks and the local Asian grocery store sells pig face’s with snouts, 👊🏼👍🏼
Great demonstration! I've never eaten souse but next time I'm in NC I will have to get some and try it.
This made me so happy to watch!!! I miss this and can't wait to try this recipe!!
This is perfect on rye bread with brown mustard and pickled beet slices. You can only buy it in the months around Christmas here, and I am looking forward to it every year.
I thought you were going to say YUCK! LOL!
Thank you Ange!
Wow...mouthwatering...I can taste it now.
Anyone who has never tried this has no idea what there missing.
there! where? oh, you mean.....no idea what they're missing.
Souse(hot) is good.
I miss eating garbage and shit.
lil Clock have you tried it?
lil Clock okay well, to each his own.
In Romania we call it “Toba” it’s a traditional Christmas dish. But you can but it all year round though.
I had some friends come here to work in the USA from Czech Republic. They made the same thing but I can't remember t he name. But it was still souse meat. I'm from South Carolina and we have country stores that still make lots of of recipes like this. My Grand Father would make something from every part of the animals we slaughtered. To keep from being hungry. I know it's been 2 years since you answered here. But I still have good feelings from around the world of people sharing their old world recipes and love for life.
Thank you for your input.
@@joeroberts5732 Beat regards and thank you for your time to reply back. Funny how no matter which country we may come from, some traditions are almost the same!

My dad grew up in rural Kentucky, he's told me many stories about this. He puts hot sauce on it though lol!
Love hog head cheese! Try it w mustard! I like mine spicy! Great job! Liked & shared!
It's definitely worth trying and I know you can do a great job with it Linda!
That looked amazing...Cheers Jeff
Love this. Thank you! Cheers from Alberta Canada!
Looks like I’m late to the souse party here!😅
I love this type of souse. It’s what I grew up eating. I’ve also eaten the type made in Alabama. Next up is the Miami style souse, which is served like a hot stew. 😋
THANK YOU for sharing🙏🏾👋🏾😃
C loaf, Souse love em all... From NC here too looks great
I love this stuff as a kid and now as an adult I still love it! Making it this weekend 😊
My family is from North Carolina I can't wait to show them this video
I hope they enjoy Lexi!
Eating Souse right now as I’m watching this, it’s so good I had to learn how it’s made... thanks for the video 😊
Good job man. You was raised by good people. I’m gonna make my first loaf using your Dads recipe
Thank you very much Sean!! Yes, it is a bit old school! Growing up in North Carolina, I ate everything from the rooter to the tooter on a pig! The only thing I still to this day do not care for are chitterlings......but I've eaten and still enjoy eating just about everything else from the pig!! I wish I could share some of this with you!!! You seem you would really enjoy it! My daughter liked it and that made me happy!!
Sneaky's a good guy and funny!!!
Thanks for watching!
I admit that I've never seen a pig's foot that made me even vaguely interested in eating it. I've seen where pigs put those feet. LOL
This is a dish that's never entered my field of experience, in spite of growing up in the mountains of W.Va. But you make it look terribly tempting, Larry.
Thank you Vidya, good information.
My daughter actually did eat some, but my girlfriend and her daughter wouldn't touch it!!! LOL!
Yep, just like a jar of pig's feet!! LOL
Thanks for watching James!
Loved this when I was a kid!
My mom made headcheese...soooo good. She's been gone for over 50 years....yours looks darn good!
I used to work at a Super K-Mart in the deli department and very clearly remember what you made as head cheese - the souse loaf we sold had pickled peppers in it, that being the only clear difference.
We sold it in the numerous grocery store delis I worked in, too Shaun. Did you ever hear of something called "blood tongue"? It's basically what it sounds like: beef or pork tongue encased in a sausage made with blood. Sounds gross, but it's really not that bad.
OMG!!! I wish I was there. I love that stuff. Almost impossible to find in a grocery store or deli.
Look delicious, thanks for sharing!
I'm from PA and the PA Dutch makes very good souse . Also the store bought souse in my area is really good- you can't eat a lot of it at once or you will be on the royal throne for hours 😂😭
i make this all the time but i never added neck bones .. can't wait to try it thanks for sharing !
in America they call this "HEAD CHEESE" - It's made a lot in the South, possibly originally by slaves, when the Masters threw them all the scraps, things they would not eat. But my Mom used to make this from the recipes of LITHUANIA (they have many recipes in common from the nearby countries like Russia, Poland, Ukrania, Estonia, Latvia) - These climates like Lithuania & Mongolia, indeed, also use all the animal's body. Many kinds of body parts produce gelatin, in fact, when I boil my chicken for the cats it makes gelatin. They use pig's heads a lot, especially in France, perhaps this is where the term "head cheese" came from. Fish make gelatin also, called aspic. Even those bones they put in the 'garbage' they should throw into the woods or near the house. I'm sure some animals will be able to eat them. In cold areas you have desperate animals. Where I live upstate NY, it's as cold as this--or used to be before global warming. Thirty years ago we had 8 days a year of 32-34 below. But now, it's much warmer, never gets below 16 below & that only a couple days a year.
It's my tradition to put mine on a saltine with mayo while watching the Saints.
Being from Colorado, I've never tried (or even heard) of souse loaf… I'm always willing to try new things. Maybe someday… heh heh.
I really love spicy souse thanks for sharing
Love Head Cheese, can't wait to try your recipe.
